Culture Change

Signature HealthCARE works with the Eden Alternative to implement culture change initiatives and has a thriving Quality of Life program that promotes wellness and activity.

The Eden Alternative is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to nursing home culture change and the reshaping of long-term care, an effort that closely aligns with Signature’s own mission and vision.

In order to join the registry, nursing homes must reach a number of milestones demonstrating their commitment to the Eden principles.

Much of the Eden Alternative organization’s work has revolved around de-institutionalizing the culture and environment of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The Eden Alternative’s core concept is to view places where elders live as ‘habitats for human beings’ rather than ‘facilities for the frail and elderly.’
